My rooster is still getting the hang of things, but I've let my broody Silkie sit for about seven days and I am not sure that the eggs are doing much? I am letting her hatch naturally / no incubator as I live in the desert. Was just wondering if these look viable.
I noticed the air sack is getting larger since day 3 but not sure if that's a sign. The yolk is not floating.

im usually looking for a pretty stationary darker mass, uniformity betwist eggs lol, just not clear or a sloshy mess, so .. to me they look good .. i'd check a couple again in a few days then weed out any clear or sloshy ones ..

I *think* they look okay! @LadiesAndJane?
Honestly it’s hard to say. I do not see any clear veining in any of the photos. Here is one of my silkie eggs day 7 for comparison.
Photo is a bit fuzzy, but you can see the veins.🙂
The air cell will get larger even if the egg is infertile. I would just hang onto them a bit longer and see how they develop.
